Agriculture in the Classroom — Manitoba (AITC-M) is getting new funding from federal and provincial levels of government to help them continue teaching students about the vital role of the agriculture industry in Canada.
AITC-M will be receiving $146,600 to help adapt their program to meet the demand for more online and digital resources.
Executive Director of Agriculture in the Classroom Manitoba, Sue Clayton, says the funding from the Canadian Agriculture Partnership will be put to good use.
"We’re looking at an adapted hybrid model of program delivery that will meet the demands for educators so that it can either be delivered in-person, or through virtual classroom settings.”
She adds that a big part of the organization's focus is interactive learning, and they look to keep that intact through the new funding.
